Are you suffering from adult asthma symptoms? Wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing and other lesser-known symptoms can certainly take their toll and have significant effects on daily life. Do you think you have asthma? It’s important to learn the signs and symptoms of an asthma attack, and to get it evaluated and under control as quickly as possible with minimal medical intervention. Asthma symptoms can vary greatly in severity from an occasional mild episode of shortness of breath to wheezing that persists despite the use of prescribed medications. The classic symptoms of an asthma attack include rapid breathing, wheezing on exhalation, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness or pain. It can be very scary for the person having the attack, because to them it feels like they’re drowning, unable to catch a deep breath because it won’t go in.Adult asthma symptoms usually progress over a period of hours or days, and occasionally the airways become more seriously inflamed or obstructed. At this point, it’s wise to schedule a visit to the asthma specialist for lung function tests and prescribed antibiotics and corticosteroids to get the excessive mucous and inflammation under control. A common cold can become a full blown respiratory infection in an asthmatic, which is why it’s important to recognize symptoms early and get treatment started right away. Understanding the underlying causes of allergies and allergy-related asthma is another important intervention that has been proven to reduce the number and severity of asthma attacks in a significant number of patients. Allergies are a common underlying factor, and once the allergies are addressed, the frequency of asthma attacks decreases as well.Long-term relief medications for adult asthma sufferers are widely available, and usually consist of an inhaled corticosteroid taken twice daily and a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. Lots of information for treatment of adult asthma symptoms is available from local medical professionals including asthma and immunology specialists, so don’t hesitate to seek a professional evaluation and consultation. Over-the-counter medications are not recommended for the long term treatment of chronic asthma, and can have dangerous consequences for someone in a life threatening situation. With proper treatment, asthmatics take brisk walks, and take up running and other vigorous aerobic activity without asthma symptoms. Do you homework and learn more about asthma symptoms, treatment and underlying causes online at a number of sites dedicated to keeping asthma under control and to you living a healthy symptom-free life.

No matter how many times you flip it on, you never tire of its charms. I'm referring to the television. Isn't this the true though? We Americans are addicted to television and film. And regardless of how much we hear about exercise and good health habits, we somehow still find ourselves lounging in front of a 40 inch plasma. And if we're not doing that, we're off to the movie theater to catch the latest blockbuster. Unfortunately for most of us this routine can get a bit pricey. No worries; there are other ways to indulge in all that cinema goodness. Personally I prefer watching flicks at home anyway. Hey, it's all about the pay per view and Netflix. At this point I'd hate to live without them.If I had to take a guess at how many movies I viewed in an average week's time, I'd have to say around 10. Now I know what you must be thinking. That's not nearly enough! Haa...just kidding. But seriously, I'll bet you watch more than you think. You may not necessarily be purchasing pay per view flicks, but I'll wager that you're at least watching plenty of television. Maybe it's "24," "Desperate Housewives," or "CSI." Do these weekly hit ring any bells? Now, I have to say that I'm partial to Netflix and pay per view over television shows. These are just more reliable sources in my opinion. When I flip it to the pay per view preview channel, I can easily select a film that I know I haven't seen before. This is ideal. It doesn't always work this way with televisions series'. Half of the time they're re-runs, and that annoys the heck out of me. I have no time for repeats.We're flooded with great options in this day and age. If you're not renting from Blockbuster or Hollywood Video stores, you can always turn to Netflix or pay per view as an alternative. I like to take advantage of both pay per view and Netflix simply because it allows me to see all the movies I want when I want. With pay per view there's no contract or monthly fee. You only pay for a single film and watch it any time over the next 24 hours. That's a pretty sweet deal if I do say so myself. Are you on the pay per view band-wagon?

There are so many places that you can blog these days. Today lets look at Windows Live , a free blogging and networking platform. With so many options out there you might ask why would I want to use something that is related and owned by Microsoft. That is a great question in my opinion.

The main reason is that this site has a neat networking feature of being able to add friends. While this doesn't sound like much, it can help businesses reach new customers. If you look at this Arlington Heights real estate profile that was just created you will see that at the top there is a section called friends. This list shows the friends of the member and many people will check out this list and read other peoples blogs.

This free exposure can help you build up contacts that you would have never been able to reach on your own. For the little amount of time and effort needed it is worth taking some time to play with this free blogging platform. For more ideas about how to build up your online presence visit WebNewsForUs a site that helps real estate agents generate more exposure online and off.

I can’t think of anyone who does not like cookies. A cookie gift basket is an ideal present for nearly everyone. They are a nice treat for someone who is recovering from an injury or for someone who just needs a little cheer. Cookies remind many of us of our childhood. Even the scent of cookies can bring a smile to a person’s face. There is no wonder why cookie gift baskets are growing in popularity.Some people have the patience, skill and talent to create a cookie gift basket on their own. Many of my friends and relatives are avid bakers. They create amazing cookie treats from scratch and I simply scratch my head in wonder of their talent. Many of these friends and family members are also very crafty. These talented individuals have no trouble arranging even the most delicate cookies in a display that is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palette.I am not one of those people. You will never find me creating a cookie gift basket on my own. I do not have the patience that is required to bake from scratch. My idea of baking is breaking the cookie dough off of the square at the perforated seams. Even the pre-made cookie dough that comes in the very familiar log is too vexing for me. The dough is either too tough to cut or it is too soft and the dough winds up in a tangled mess.Then there is the whole heating and waiting part. It requires some math skill. It also requires patience, which as I mentioned before, I am lacking. If I do finally create edible cookies, I doubt that I can create an appealing cookie gift basket because that requires even more patience in the attempt to arrange the cookies in an attractive fashion. In my experience, really good cookies are soft and the very thought of breaking an edible cookie that I made from scratch is unbearable.When it comes to creating a cookie gift basket from the heart, I turn to the professionals. I can actually save a lot of time and money by simply ordering a cookie gift basket from someone who has the talent and the patience that I lack. I also want to make sure that I don’t give my loved ones anything that may lead to a tummy ache.

On your big day, you want your wedding makeup to last. Not only that, but you want to look stunning in your photographs. In order to insure that your makeup will last as long as possible, it may be best to hire a professional to take care of it. However, here is some advice to keep in mind even if you do hire a makeup artist.

Use a makeup base. Several cosmetic companies offer products that go on under your eye makeup or lipstick that help your makeup last. Eye makeup base provides a layer that your eyeshadow and eyeliner can adhere to. This prevents creasing and helps the colour stay on longer. They offer similar products for lipstick. However, try to find a lipstick base that is also moisturizing. Some products contain ingredients that dry the lips out. You'll need your lips to stay nice and moist so you can smile all day.

Get rid of extra shine. A shiny face looks even worse in photographs, especially if the photographer uses a flash. After washing your face, apply an oil controlling product. After that absorbs, apply a thin layer of loose powder. Apply foundation and the rest of your makeup as usual. Follow up with another thin layer of loose powder. Carry some pressed powder with you so you can control any shine as the day progresses.

Lasting lipstick. One of the first things to fade is your lipstick. Follow these tips that will help your lipstick last. First, apply a moisturizing lip base. Then, apply lip liner in a shade that is a little darker than your lipstick. Use a soft pencil. Fill the lips in with the pencil. Apply one coat of lipstick and blot gently. Apply another coat of lipstick but this time do not blot. Press a thin layer of facial tissue gently to your lips. Using a large brush, apply a thin layer of pressed powder to the tissue. The tissue acts as a screen, letting in only a small amount of powder. The powder helps the lipstick set and keeps it on longer.

Pack a makeup bag. No matter how hard you try to create a lasting look, you still may need to do some minor touch ups throughout the day. Pack pressed powder, lipstick, mascara, and eyeshadow just in case your colour needs a boost.

VoIP is the technology that allows consumers to make phone calls (local, long distance or international) with an Internet connection, instead of traditional phone service. Since Internet Service Providers (ISPs) charge a fixed monthly fee for connection, sdo theoretically, you could make unlimited phone calls free. In order to do that, youll need a VoIP providers. What VoIP service provides is the translation of your voice to data packets transmitting over the Internet when you talk, and the translation of data packets conveying the voice messages from other end of the phone to the voice that you can hear when you listen on the phone.

Theres a cost of using VoIP service of course. After all, VoIP providers need to make money just as what ISPs do. Vonage phone service is one of mostly used VoIP services. VoIP providers charge a flat monthly service fee between $20-$50 dependent on the service provider and the plan. If you make a lot of calls especially expensive international calls, the saving from many minutes of free international calls using VoIP will easily justify the flat fee you paid for VoIP service. If you dont talk often but have a high speed Internet connection already, the choice to sign up with a VoIP service is still justified since you could completely drop the standard local and long distance phone services you use. If you dont talk often on the phone and dont have a high speed or broadband Internet connection, VoIP service is likely more expensive that standard phone service. Youll have to pay for broadband Internet connection.

The quality of VoIP service rivals traditional telephone service now even though many users still have the memory of poor sound quality and connectivity that markek the early VoIP. N fact, VoP has become a mainstream alternative to standard telephone service. Therere many VoIP providers and a few major players. For instance, Vonage boasts over one million subscribers and offer service in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, United Kingdom and other European countries. Vonage VoIP continues to offer new services and plans to meet the needs of both business and residential markets. Small businesses could use VoIP as an alternative to 1-800 numbers to cut down the cost of phone bills.

The history of VoIP or Internet Telephony dated back to 1995 when a few hobbyists developed software for sending voice data packets over the Internet, so they could make unlimited long distance calls free of charges. Early VoIP were with poor sound quality and connectivity. Besdies, it required both callers to have a computer equipped with the same software, the same sound card and the same microphone. Today, the quality of voice over IP now is crystal clear and rivals the one of traditional telephone. The VoIP services from leading provider Vonage are subscribed by over one million users by 2006.

VoIP landscape changed drastically when Cisco and Nortel entered the VoIP market with hardware equipment that allowed easy switch between standard phones and the voice data packets on the Internet in 1998. The new hardware made the VoIP hardware less computer dependent.

VoIP finally took off in 2000. It has become a mainstream alternative to standard telephone service since then. The growing acceptance of VoIP in both business and residential phone use is evidential in the phenomenal success of Vonage, a major player in VoIP market today. Vonage offered VoIP service to business communities in 2001 and signed its first residential customer in 2002. Year 2003 was marked by the first platform for 911 calls on VoIP software. Between 2004 to 2005, Vonage launched VoIP service in Canada, Puerto Rico, United Kingdom and other European countries. Vonage phone service charges a monthly service fee, and calls (local, long distance or international) are technical free or unlimited. With more than one million subscribers this year, Vonage VoIP continues to offer new services and plans to meet the needs of both business and residential markets. Some small businesses have started to take the advantage of the flat fee of VoIP plans. They now have an alternative to 1-800 numbers to interact with their customers.

Sweet childhood reminds us the sweet memory of different flavors of candies: Hershey chocolate, Bubblicious and LifeSavers. Most children have a natural passion for sweets, so a candy present is almost a must-give when it comes to birthday gifts.

Among the easiest birthday gift ideas, rock candy is easy to prepare, just dissolve sugar in water and boil stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until the solution grows clear reaching a rolling boil. Put the mixture in a jar and cover with waxed paper with a string or skewer suspended in it, and after one week you will have rock candy as the water evaporates.

Major discount marts, supermarkets, and convenience stores offer a large array of birthday gifts made up of chocolate candy such as World's Finest Chocolates, so just a visit can inspire your own home-made birthday gifts. Adult birthday celebrations must not be left out, and there are also many birthday gift ideas based on candy.

Some specialty stores sell true artwork carved on chocolate candy or molded in sugar free candy reproducing famous sculptures or everyday symbols like a heart or the type of cherubs representing Valentine's Day. In fact, many birthday gifts are associated to other common celebrations such as Mother's Day, Halloween or Christmas because birthdays occur any day throughout the year.

Surprise your beloved ones with sweet birthday gift ideas designed with them in mind. There are a number of birthday gifts promoted as "the candy you ate as a kid". These gifts are an assortment of popular candies from the 1950s such asLindt Chocolates, Necco Wafers, BB Bats, Kits, Bun, Nestle chocolate, Ice Cubes, and other fresh old-fashioned Chocolate candy.

The sweet history of Chocolate can be traced back to thousands of years. Ancient people brewing the seeds of the cacao tree into a yummy beverage was the beginning of the wide assortment of chocolates that we enjoy today. Once chocolate was discovered by European conquests, it became a treat only the wealthiest could afford. Sugar and spices used to sweeten it were expensive too and out of the common man's reach. It was in the 1800's that the industrial age and mass production made chocolate candy affordable for everyone.

As chocolate candy became more popular and accepted worldwide, more companies were established, and many others disappeared shortly after. In the United States, the pioneer was Ghirardelli Chocolate Company, founded in 1852. Ghirardelli chocolate was the first American brand.

Milton S. Hershey founded the Hershey Chocolate Company after visiting the Columbian Exposition. Hershey sold his former Lancaster Caramel Company, but retained the rights to produce American chocolate products. Hershey chocolate was just the beginning of one of the most successful business in the United States.

Along with Lindt Chocolates, Nestle chocolate, Ghirardelli chocolate, and Hershey chocolate, Mars is the other brand of chocolate candy sharing the top five as producer of some of the World's Finest Chocolates.

Different brands from different origins, the top chocolate candy brands are manufactured in America, preferred by consumers for about one hundred years, and ahead of other chocolate products distributed or produced in the United States, a nation that exports today the World's Finest Chocolates all over the world.

Chocolate candy became a big hit in stores in the form of the candy bar. It took its place proudly on the general store shelf next to the gum drop, hard candy and candy cane bins of the day. From that meager beginning, the varieties available today are mind boggling. Chocolate candy is available in many different flavors, shapes and with limitless ingredients. Some ingredients such as nuts and fruits are complimentary to the flavor and texture of the chocolate and left whole or diced inside the candy bar. Spices and other flavorings are also added to enhance the chocolate or add interesting flavor notes. Some people can taste a story in their chocolate candy. The flavor medley tells them through their tongue what region of the world each ingredient came from. Travel by chocolate!

Chocolate can also be enjoyed either inside a candy coating or as a coating itself over other yummy treats such as ice cream.
